the interviewer was bob woodruff and it was an interview in which edwards, for the first time, acknowledged he had had an extramarital affair during the lead up to the 2008 campaign. it is a really uncomfortable video to watch this point because there are so many falsehoods in his statements. i counted at least a dozen in the 20-minute interview that we now know are simply untrue that he said in that interview. he was purporting in the interview to come clean and pretending to be sincere, in fact, a vast number of things he said in that interview were either on true or wildly misleading. the message prosecutors were trying to send to the jury is that anything mr. edwards says about this matter cannot be trusted and he is a fundamentally dishonest individual and someone who has practiced at being able to convince people of things that are simply not true. host: we want to listen to some of your phone calls and get some of your reactions. the former united states senator representing north carolina at, the 2008 candidate for president and vice presidential nominee in the past is john edwards.
